If you're loading for a rifle, your barrel is plenty long enough to reap the benefits of any compressed load. are you asserting that load data tested in a 26" barrel would be a waste in a 22" barrel??? consistency is consistency, no matter the length of the barrel, I often load compressed loads for 10" barrels in my contender, and even in 6" and 4" revolvers. some of the best full house loads that exist for 44 mag are slightly compressed


So burning powder out of the barrel and no velocity gain isn’t a waste ?
